tured by the Police.
Last evening while the gambling rooms
over the Turf Exchange on Douglas
street were IN full blast, Officers Ormsby,
Horrigan and McCracken quietly forced
the door open and stood for few sec.
onds watching the scene. The roulettee
and chuck -a-luck wheels were running,
and the games of stud poker and faro
were in progress. AS soon as the officers
were recognized great confusion pre-
yaileu; the chips were scattered over the
floor, the lights turned down and gen.
eral rush made for all available points of
exit. Some of the men attempted TO ge,
out of the windows. one or two tried
to crawl into the beer elevator,
and ali the different hiding places
connected with the room were filled. One
young fellow who gave the alias Of Frank
Smith broke the glass in one of the doors
and jumped through. However. all
present were captured. thirty-one alto

patrol wagon to take them to the central

there was taken S6GG5. The following

The defeat of prohibition in Tennessee
was not so overwhelming as in Texas.
but like the wound of Mercuto 1t is
enough. The latest figures estimate the
majority against the amendment at
10000, with perhaps a two.thirds vote IN
the state. On full vote the probability
is that the majority against prohibition
would have been increased. The cam
paign was carried on with great vigor
by the advocates of the proposed amend
ment, and they not only had fair field
but fewer obstacles to overcome than
confronted the prohibitonsts of Texas,
unless the fate OF the cause in that state
proved an especially formidable in
ference against it IN Tennessee
1t undoubtedly did give en-.
couragcment to the opposition, but the
testimony Is that the contest against the
amendment was carried on much less
vigorously IN Tennessee than IN Texas.
Explanations to account for the defeat
by referring 1t to means not strictly le-
gitimate will doubtless not be wanting,
but the fair conclusion must be that the
policy did not commend itself TO the in
telligent judgment of majority of the
people, rather than that any illegitimate
means were employed to compass its de-
feat.
In view of the abundant evidence of
the failure OF prohibition to prohibit,
furnished by states III which 1t has been
long tried as we'll as by those IN which
it has more recently been adopted,
il is rather astonishing that it
received so large vote n

Succe SIS fui Cheek Grating.

Harry HagaE, who had his left cheek
torn from his face about three weeks
ago, and for whom DIR. Lee has been
building new one, had the last graft
put on yesterday. There have been al
together thirtytive gratis made and all
but two or three of these were successful.
The cheek will not be so full as the right
one, but the difference will mar his per
sonal appearance but little The edges
where the gratis meet are barely per-
cepible on close inspection and short
distance away the dim network of deli
cate scars would never be noticed.

The Milwaukee a. st. Paul road has
given notice that an advance in grain
rates will be made, within ten days, from
west of the Mississippi river between La.
Crosse and st. Paul to Chicago. The
rates from the twin cities to Chicago will
remain the same, so that this cut is in
direct violation of the long and short
haul clause. The excuse given for the
proposed violation of the law is that
the present low rates from st. Paul TO Chi
cagO nave been brought about by wat er
competition, and that there is therefore
no reason why low rates should be given
between points east of st. Paul to Chi
cago, not effected by water competition
This is the baldest nonsense and if the
threatened advance IN rates is carried
out, the law should take prompt notice
of the matter and bring the road to
Justice.

A COMPROMISE tariff bill which is ex-
pected to receive the support of both
branches of congress is reported from
Washington. This bill Is said to contain
a provision for the repeal Of tine tax on
tobacco and whisky, some reduction of
the duties on raw materials, etc. The
monopolies seem to remain untouched
This is not the kind of tariff reduction
the country wants. Let those who must
drink whisky pay for 1t, but give the
farmers some relief There are several
millions of these in the country who wish
to know why the steel-rail makers. for
example, should be given present of
ei7 for every ton of rails they manufac-
ture, by means of a high protective tariff,
while the price of wheat remains so low
that there is no profit in its production
This question of reduction of the tariff
is the most important now before the
country aud worth statesman's best eff
forts. We want no tinkering, but intelli'
gent legislation. -. ..> E

Chairman Balcombe stated yesterday
morning that the only material rejected
for side walks in this city except planks
was brick. lie himself was opposed to
everything except stone, and Mr.. Mayne,
although voting against asphalt, with
him, might yet vote in favor OF 1t. The
ordinance requires that the material shall
be of stone or like permanent material,
and nothing is so durable rs stone. ex-
cept it be the best kind OF artificial pay
ing stone, which is now being laid here.
If asphaltum is used, Mr.. Balcombe pro-
poses to see that its composition shai! be

A report that the pope is contemplate
ing meditation between Germany and
France for the restoration of Alsace-
Lorraine to the latter suggests great
possibilities. If these provinces We're re-
turned 10 the nation to which in sentl-
ment they belong the hostile feeling be-
tween France and Germany might die
out. I'm the ligh, of recent events it was
mistake for Germany 10 make Il ceSsion
of French territory a condition of peace,
The money indemnity was paid and
passed out of mind. 1t was held to be Il
part of the spoils of war to which the
yictors were entitled. But the
ccded provinces are living witnesses
of the inability of the French to
protect their own territory. When peace
was made France had nc choice but TO
accept the terms offered. 1t was not able
to continue the war with hope Of ulti
mate success, and there was no nation
in Europe that seem disposed to make
the course of France its own. But
| France has never been reconciled to the
loss of her provinces nor the provinces to
| being lost. They are apparently as
| French in sentiment to-day as when
| handed over to Germany, Ii Germany
| persists in holding them they will at no
distant day be the cause of war between
the two nations. Under these circum.
stances if the pope can induce Germany
to hand the provinces back with some
